In Florida not a day goes by where there is not some talk about the housing market; where it is and where it is heading. We have been called 'ground zero' by the national media. The market is no longer a sellers' market.  What part of that is not to understand? The fact is there are more homes on the market than there are buyers buying them. Supply and Demand. This is a law that you are not able to deny or defy. I am being brutally honest right now because we feel your pain. Not a day goes by that Nestor is not talking with a seller about listing their property and having to tell them that their expired listing is over priced. It pains him to have to say what a seller does not want to hear but honesty is the only policy that will start the process to selling your house. Just like Bryant...

Hannukah begins tomorrow and I wanted to take this moment to wish all of my friends, colleagues, clients and customers, buyers and sellers who celebrate this festive time of the year known in Judaism as Hannukah, a time to celebrate the miracle of the candles that kept burning by the grace of God. Hannukah is also known as the Festival Of Lights. The Jewish people were being ruled by the Egyptians in 200 BC.  Then the Greek King of Syria came in 168 BC and desecrated the Temple. They were forced to pray to Zeus and were not allowed to pray to Jehovah, the one God. This is a wonderful triumph over persecution. It is a story that all Christians and Jewish people should pass on to their children, a story of faith and belief. As Christians we learn that Jesus was Jewish and most of the earl...

I was reading Carole's post, Bad Gifts in Feng Shui and the thought occurred to me that I am very careful with my gift giving but not in what is a bad omen, luck and such but rather what is healthy and not healthy. After all, if I am giving a gift I want to make sure it is safe and will not harm the receiver of my gift. If I truly care about the person why would I want to in any way be a part of something bad for their health? If they choose to buy things that are unhealthy and toxic then that is their choice but I choose not to participate. So what kind of gifts are so popular to give but yet are NOT healthy or safe? We usually don't think about this as we are running around doing our Christmas and Hanukkah shopping. Many times we are lured in to a body and perfume shop with wonderful ...

The new environmentally friendly expansion of the western FPL plant was passed with a unanimous approval.       The county commissioners approved FPL's request to use reclaimed waster water to cool the plant which has three huge generators that are powered by natural gas. The new plant will be working by 2011 and is located near Loxahatchee west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and North of Southern Blvd. An estimated 21 million gallons a day of treated sewage will be used to cool the generators. This is so much better than the previous plan of going into Florida's aquifers to get the water which would put a strain on our water supply. The water utility company is going to borrow $75 Million dollars to install pipes that will carry the reclaimed water to the plant. The plant itself is goi...

Get ready to fight for your rights, your life and your God given right to be a parent! This is the second in my new series of posts on Natural Health and what Big Pharma and Big Brother don't want you to know! You may want to read, Protect Your Parental Rights and The Rights of Your Children before you read this post. There is no right held more sacred that the right to control your own body. There is no human decency more important than the right to choose what you do to your own body. No one has the right to place their hands where you do not wish them to be nor force drugs into your body where you do not wish them to be! Please think back to times in history where this right is compromised! Do we need to conjure up pictures of the holocaust experiments on the human body or the presen...

In the equestrian sport of polo the object of the game is to move the polo ball down-field, hitting it through the goal for a score. Polo is an equestrian team sport, usually played outdoors, with four polo players on each team. A polo match lasts about two hours and is divided into 6 timed periods called chukkers.Wellington is a village in Palm Beach County. Wellington holds the largest horse show in the world from the last week in January to the middle of March. Wellington and The Palm Beach Polo & Country Club is world-famous for equestrian and poloo events, and the Village of Wellington maintains a public library, a recreation center, a number of public parks, and hosts  the annual Top Gun model aircraft show.

I just had to share this experience with you all and hopefully we can get a good laugh out of this post! We have a lot of short sale listings here in our community.There are more in some developments that were hit very hard by flippers that got busted in their flipping game. One of those communities is the Olympia subdivision built by Minto homes.  We have some listings in that development. I get a fax of an offer a couple of weeks ago on one of our short sale listings. The offer actually was not bad. It was close to the fair market value these days. Let's just say that most people in this development owe like $500,000 to $600,000 to their lenders but the houses are only worth $377,000 now. I can disclose the offer because it is a dead issue and I am not mentioning names. The offer was ...

The National Association of Realtors said that 36% of all the homes sold last year were second homes. Have you been dreaming that dream of a vacation beach house, a getaway villa, a romantic condo on the water, a sporty townhouse on the golf course? Are you looking to get away from the shoveling snow each winter and escape to sandy warm beached along the South Florida coastlines? Most of the people who are buying second homes are baby boomers looking for a place to eventually retire to and a place where their children and grandchildren can enjoy vacations and getaways. Keep in mind that living right on the water comes with a premium price, the demand is high in all markets and the properties are fewer in number than inland. If it is golf course living you are interested in, now is such ...

Forced Medication On Your Children Against Your Will! OK! Jason Crouch and Adam Waldman! I promised you I would share my voice and passion with the Active Rain Community and the world about Big Pharma and Government interference in our agency and choices in medical care and drug choices. I am also writing this post for Sandy Noll who wrote about her son’s Night Terrors.  This is the beginning of a new series of posts that I will be doing off and on over the next year about the war raging that is far closer to home, in fact, many times at our doorsteps with legal drugs, prescription drugs and the truth that is NOT being told to us and what you can to about it. I am proactive and a natural health care advocate. This is one of my passions and now I feel as though I can share it with all o...

As defaults ripple through our economy and as the Real Estate market in many regions it brings to the forefront the value of a Realtor to our economy.  Realtors do not get enough credit; they do not get enough recognition and they do not get enough respect. It may be the commission based pay we are on or we are stigmatized with the salesperson sleezy image. Nothing could be further from the truth for any agent that I know personally. I am sure there are the sleezy agents but then again, aren’t there bad apples in every profession on the face of the earth? Are there bad doctors? Of course! Are there bad attorneys? You bet! To be paid on commission is looked at like some dirty deed. The reality is that you have to work to get paid when you are on a commission. There is no pay as noble as...

The Museum of Polo and Polo Hall Of Fame is expanding the building it is in now to make a Florida home for the U.S Polo Association and The Polo Magazine. The building will be 10,000 plus when it is finished this December. The director of the museum is George DuPont. It is located at the corner of Lake Worth Road and Lyons Road that once was a centralized location for Polo in the middle of the Polo fields that are now new developments. But Wellington has kept Polo alive and is right down the street from the Museum about 2 miles. There is no place in the United States with high level Polo other than Wellington Florida. Polo season is here! There are three 26-goal tournaments played in Palm Beach county Florida; C.V Whitney Cup, U.S. Polo Association Gold Cup and the U.S Open Championship...

What does SEO and an investor's portfolio of $22 million dollars in properties to list have to do with each other? Well, practically everything! We got a call from one of our expired packages in which we used our expired listing compelling copy to compel the investor to call us. When we arrived he had our expired letter and our brochure on his desk. He had thrown out all the other mail and kept ours. So we were in the gate. Now here is the golden nugget! He had just hired a very successful SEO expert for his website work. This investor runs an investment company where he pools together money from different investors and then invests in Real Estate here in Florida. This SEO expert had built a very high ranked site and just sold it for a pretty penny. Well, this SEO guy researched our web...

Wellington Florida is creating a wonderful ecological-based recreation center on 400 acres of Wetlands in the southwest corner of Wellington that will hold storm water. The Village of Wellington will get about $21 million dollars from the South Florida Water Management District to create this amazing vision! This is part of our state’s  “Everglades Forever Act” for moving phosphorus-laden water away from the Everglades. Wellington plans to turn this area into an Environmental Education center and conference center. The amazing plans drawn up by engineering firm CH2M Hill consists of having the building replicate a cypress dome, where cypress trees are grown with the tall ones in the center and the smaller ones are grown around the perimeter caused by varying depths in the soil. The 50,0...

Johnson Cuffy was just arrested by the FBI for participating in Mortgage Fraud in the state of Florida. He and his family run a mortgage company. He would get inflated prices on appraisals and pocket the difference as cash back at closing. What Cuffy did was pay the seller $240,000 for a house in Broward County, got a loan for $ 340,000 and then collected $ 95,000 at closing which he shared with other members of this family. He then let the house he just bought go into foreclosure. Now Cuffy got caught, but there are a lot more of these types of scam artists out there so please beware when the buyer asks you for money back at closing over above the normal closing costs and assistance towards the down payment. The name of Cuffy's company was."BlueKap Financial of Tamarac." He arranged fo...
